Recomposição da floresta ripária na margem do Rio São Francisco

Abstract

Considering the degradation scenery of riparian vegetation along the São Francisco River. This work discusses through the evaluation of forest species with potential use in soil in a Natural Engineering techniques, the floristic rebuilding of the riverbank. The first chapter consists of the presentation of the problem of bank erosion and the necessary restoration of riparian vegetation in the riparian agroecosystems associated with soil in natural engineering techniques as a mitigation measure of this form of environmental degradation. The second chapter consists of the proposed riparian restoration, by assessing the development of seedlings of forest species on the right bank of the São Francisco River, an important determinant in the choice of species to be used in biotechnical planned for the waterfront. The third chapter tests shrubs / trees to determine which species that have potential for biotechnical composition of soil in natural engineering techniques, assessing morphological species, so that these can contribute in reducing the erosion of river banks.
